United States | SFGATE | "[Branagh] shows an understanding of the medium worthy of a veteran, and an intuitive grasp of how to make Henry V not only comprehensible, but compelling for contemporary audiences." | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "While Branagh's direction is forthright and articulate, his acting is brash and flamboyant" | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "What works best in the film is the over-all vision. Branagh is able to see himself as a king, and so we can see him as one" | POS |
United States | USA Today | "Henry V emerges a first-class epic film, so entertaining that it needs no apologies for being based on a 400-year-old play" | POS |
United States | Variety | "Henry V is a stirring, gritty and enjoyable pic which offers a plethora of fine performances from some of the U.K.'s brightest talents" | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "Branagh has made a hotblooded, lively and moving Henry V that speaks pertinently to a new generation." | POS |
United Kingdom | Empire | "It might never be as famous as Olivier's, but it should carry considerable clout for years to come." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Mr. Branagh's Henry has psychological heft and intellectual weight." | POS |
